MISSING! The scrapbook/photo album containing picures and information concerning all of our needlepoint kneelers is missing. Anyone having information about the whereabouts of this book, please call Sue Kelley at 860-536-6030, or the church office at 860-535-1181.
BIBLE STUDY! Come on Tuesday mornings in Advent and Epiphany at 9:15 a.m. for discussions on a passage from Scripture. Scripture has a remarkable way to guide us through the dark times, alert us how to give thanks, and give us wisdom when we feel the well is dry. Come and join Mark, Sara, Grace and others as we join in conversation for an hour each of these Tuesday mornings (except 1 January). Bring a friend!
Our cup runneth over! We have had an abundance of little ones in the NURSERY this fall and are looking to hire a second childcare provider for the nursery on Sunday mornings (9:30-11:30 a.m.) This is a paid position. If you know anyone who might be interested, please have them contact the Rev. Sara Potter at 860-535-1181, ext. 16. We are also working to create a more child and parent friendly environment in the nursery. We are still in need of a diaper changing table. A collapsible playpen has been donated. Thank you, Stephen Bessette! If you have one you would like to donate, please contact the Rev. Sara Potter at 860-535-1181, ext. 16.
Members of our PASTORAL CARE TEAM are available to make visits to anyone in the parish or in the community confined to their home, the hospital or a nursing facility. Please let us know so that we can schedule a time to see them. We also keep a supply of Calvary Casseroles in the freezer in the Parish Hall waiting to be delivered to individuals and/or families for whom meal preparation might be difficult. Let us know so that we can help. Please call the parish office at 860-535-1181. Anyone who desires to be in Spiritual Direction or to learn more about Spiritual Direction, please contact the Rev’d Anne Kimball at 245-3677 or the Rev’d Emmett Jarrett at 437-8890.
